I got no replies when asking about going long the CAD/JPY, but I think commodity prices can go down for a while.

Two people at the opposite ends of the spectrum on sentiment indicators are Bernie Schaeffer (likes sentiment indicators) and David Nassar (thinks price and volume says everything). I think sentiment indicators like put/call ratios are a little like momentum oscillators like slow stochastics...

There was a thread in the prop firm forum about that. One guy claimed after disclosing his method in a prop firm, methods that worked for 20 years stopped working. With all the books out there on trading now, you'd think it may not have much of an impact. The one thing I wonder about...

RFLMAO! Who gave you a month of training and will have you trade on a simulator? I'd like to know who is responsible enough to do that. I just lost my job after working at Titletrading for 3 months. After I told them I had developped my own method, they showed me how to use the platform for...

I know if you were bullish oil, you could always buy an ETF based on the price of oil such as USO. But, the double leveraged UCO could have a negative divergence over the long term. So, that would leave us with futures or forex (if you didn't want to risk losing your whole amount in options)...

There was a suicide on CNBC by some billionaire who lost money by trying to short VW. Odd thing is, when Rolse Royce wanted to sell itself, they sold the name Bentley to VW pretending they were selling the entire company. And I remember Hundai getting a huge loan like 20 billion from the...

What is SPM?

Advertise in Futures Truth perhaps? That's John Hill's publication if I'm correct.

I did not respond because it seems to me that you'd need to find a way to hedge the short options. I mean if you sold a put then you'd have to buy an out of the money one to protect it. Then you'd make the difference in the cost between the two. If I'm correct, you'd need level 4 clearance to...

If you're going to take extreme risk, it may be better to do it in the Forex markets because the only really large gaps you'll see will be during the weekend. The rest of the time, the Forex markets operate 24 hours a day. I don't want encourage anyone to take large risks but I do know that...

Does anyone know of other sites like prophet.net that are free and have customizable parameters? prophet.net has been producing errors for several days now like when you click on a 15 day chart, it displays 6 days or other oddities that are almost comical (like 26 minute candlesticks instead of...

I know GFT Forex has 45 min. charts but does anyone here know of anyone else? Most platforms I've tried have either 30 min. or 60 min. options. **** GM can do 45 if you click to customize it but the charts on their platinum platform seem weird to me (and no black background).

Not if you can't concentrate while you're risking their money. When I re-evaluated a lot of things after I lost my job in a prop firm, I realized one of the many reasons why I think my results were less than ideal is partly because of the fact I think risking someone else's money clouded my...

You mean giving up? At this point, even if I had money to trade, I'd make sure I did enough back testing and forward testing with a demo platform possibly for several months before taking on another trade with real money. So, the only thing I'm risking right now is time, not money. Besides...

Jack Hershey, your insults are uncalled for. I don't know if this is an intentional Howard Stern act but I don't appreciate it. I came here for ideas and so far, some people have come up with some interesting ones. And, as far as succeeding in the future, well, I think if you take any...

Well, excuse me for being an extreme idiot. My tiny little brain that can barely even process a thought has only been looking at technical analysis for a bit over a year. I continue to make various observations from looking at charts and doing "virtual" trading on a demo Forex platform. I...

You mean trying it in a demo Forex platform? I did a search and all I could find was the idea to test your ideas in real time. Yeah, I started doing that plus trying to do "mental exercises" like taking on a "scary" trade in the demo (with no real money) that I might have difficulty doing in...

If you want to start as soon as possible I would suggest trying out Forex demo trading platforms and looking at Forex broker reviews at forex peace army.com If you're already good at trading, it might be cool to be working in a prop firm. To tell you the truth, I worked in a prop firm for...

I lost my job in a prop firm in a situation that is really complicated to explain. I have one warning though, make sure before signing a contract that you have the full fonctionality of the technical indicators. Like, I'd rather not even name the indicator, but let's suppose an indicator has...

I remember they're listed on forexpeacearmy.com but I can't remember their rating. I recall that the ratings though were not seriously bad. Odd coincidence, I found by browsing that some of the most rated ones are ones used by Global Futures. They have real live human beings there although...
